    We represented Ireland at the 2024 Summer Paralympic Games, and one of our proudest moments was when we received a guard of honour from NWRC staff and students when we returned to the College to host a Q&A masterclass on Sport Psychology.

    I studied the OCN Level 2 Award in Bakery & Patisserie. My course was delivered in the College's kitchens. There was a sense of community and a warm relaxing atmosphere throughout. If I was to describe my experience in 3 words it would be fun, exciting and therapeutic!
